CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Spring is only a few days away, but winter is not leaving quietly.
Just as the trees started blooming, another round of snow and ice was bearing down Sunday on the Midwest and the mid-Atlantic. Snow was expected by Monday afternoon from the central Appalachians to the New Jersey shore, making the morning commute treacherous.
Parts of eastern West Virginia, central and west-central Virginia, and the Shenandoah Valley could see up to 10 inches of snow. Smaller accumulations were expected in Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C.
‘‘Travel will be dangerous. It’s a late-season storm but we can’t let our guard down,’’ said Amy Bettwy, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s office in Sterling, Va.
